Industrial Engineering Technicians

Industrial engineering technicians typically plan their own daily activities, prioritizing tasks to ensure maximum efficiency, and taking into account the extent to which scheduled tasks such as time studies and layout plans will involve other departments and operations. There are frequent interruptions to their daily schedule and a high degree of integration of their own planning with the work plan of the project development and design departments is required.
